Unparalleled Concubine

Before Li Chun could react, two people on the first floor of Ningcui Building heard the movement and rushed up. Both of them were wearing plain clothes, and they looked like ordinary people, except that their movements were Incomparably swift, it looks like a master of extraordinary skill.

The two directly pulled away the two generals who were guarding the door, and pushed open the door.

Then they saw Li Xin lying in a pool of blood.

The two military officers who were born in the internal guards widened their eyes, and looked fiercely at the stunned young master of Pingnan Houfu.

"Li Chun, you dare to commit murder in the street!"

Chapter 25 You're in trouble!

If it wasn't out of helplessness, no one would be willing to hurt themselves, but this method is the only way Li Xin can possibly hurt the Pingnanhou Mansion.

The Pingnanhou Mansion was reprimanded by the emperor, and sent the guards to protect him. That is to say, the emperor did not want to see the people of the Pingnanhou Mansion attacking him. Rebuked, despite the protection of the internal guards, he still wanted to attack Li Xin, that is, the Pingnanhou Mansion did not give the emperor face.

Li Xin's personal safety is a minor issue, but the emperor's face is a major issue.

No matter what the reason is, since the Son of Heaven has issued an order to warn the Pingnanhou Mansion, and has sent internal guards to protect Li Xin, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion should be honest for a while, at least not to treat Li Xin again at this time. Do it, or you will slap the emperor in the face!

Li Chun's face turned slightly pale. At this time, he also understood Li Xin's intentions. The young master of the Pingnan Hou Mansion slightly cupped his hands at the two people: "Who are you two?"

Of the two military officers of the inner guard, one went to check on Li Xin's injuries, while the other said coldly to Li Chun: "Young Lord, we are the inner guards of the imperial city, and we are ordered to protect this Mr. Li, little brother." Lord Hou shot and hurt people in broad daylight, although we dare not disrespect young Lord Hou, we will definitely report the situation to His Majesty truthfully!"

The Internal Guard is a force organization in the Imperial City, which consists of two levels. One level is the Internal Guard with more than a hundred eunuchs, and the other level is the [-] Internal Guards stationed near the Imperial City. Like the Habayashi Guards, they are all the emperor's pro-army, but compared to the Habayashi Guards, the inner guards are closer. The patrols and defenses in the palace are all done by the inner guards.

The people in the inner guard are eunuchs, but the people in the inner guard are not.

These two military officers were from the Internal Guard Army. Although their grades were not high, the Son of Heaven was close to the army and was only responsible to the Emperor.

Sweat dripped from Li Chun's forehead.

At this point in the matter, he also knew that he was in trouble. If he had known that there were inner guards behind this country bumpkin, he would not have made things difficult for him at this time anyway.

The little marquis gave a wry smile, cupped his hands to the two inner guards and said, "You two, you may not believe me, but I didn't hurt him..."

The military officer who was helping Li Xin to stop the bleeding on the ground raised his head to look at Li Chun, and sneered: "Young Lord, you didn't hurt him, could it be that he hurt himself?"

Li Chun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a harsh voice, "Although it sounds absurd, it's exactly what it is. This young man has a vicious mind, and he doesn't hesitate to do it to himself in order to set him up."

As he spoke, he took out two money orders from Datong Bank from his sleeve, and prepared to hand them to the two military officers.

"My lords, my family generals can also testify about this matter. I hope you two can tell the truth in front of Your Majesty, so as not to wrong a good man..."

The two military officers sneered slightly.

"Little Lord, are you using this method to bully civilians on weekdays? Do you know that our brother is protecting this Mr. Li under the imperial decree, and now Mr. Li is being beaten like this by you? We When the brothers return to the palace to revive the order, they will all be guilty of it, the young master thinks, if we tell His Majesty this kind of rhetoric, will His Majesty believe it or not?"

There was more cold sweat on Li Chun's forehead.

He didn't understand how this country bumpkin, who was like a beggar half a month ago, climbed to the emperor's high branch after just half a month, and even asked the emperor to send inner guards to protect him!

Things are in trouble.

If he can't settle this matter and it gets to the ears of the emperor, the Pingnanhou's mansion may not have an accident immediately, but it will make the emperor feel disgusted to some extent. Nowhere to be found.

He took a deep breath, bowed to the two inner guard military officers and said: "You two also said that you will be punished by the palace. It will be of no benefit to anyone if this matter is passed on. Although Li Xin was injured, It won't hurt his life anyway, let's keep this matter a secret, and when he recovers from his injury, it will be nothing happened..."

Speaking of this, Li Chun bowed his head and said: "If the two of you agree to this matter, I, the Marquis of Pingnan, will keep this kindness in mind. After my father returns to Beijing, he will visit him in person."

If Li Chun, the little Marquis, is not considered a very important person in the capital, then the Marquis of Pingnan, who is away on an expedition, can be said to be a first-class big shot in the capital. Li Chun has no other choice. It was only then that he had to lift his father out, trying to cover up the matter.

At this time, the military officer on the ground had already helped Li Xin stop the bleeding, temporarily wrapped Li Xin's head with a cotton strip, and then bent over to carry Li Xin on his back.

He took a deep breath and said to Li Chun: "Little Marquis, no one can help you with this matter. Our brothers are internal guards and the emperor's pro-army. If we dare to deceive Your Majesty, within three days, we will be punished." Get your head on the floor."

Li Chun's voice trembled slightly.

"No one will find out about this..."

Another military officer took a deep look at Li Chun.

"Did the young master forget about the charcoal seller? How did it get to His Majesty's ears?"

Yes, even if these two internal guards are willing to cooperate with Li Chun to conceal the matter, Li Xin, the person involved, is still alive after all. When he recovers, he will put up another big-character poster on the street, and then go to Datian to listen to the matter. But it is far from as simple as it is now.

These two military officers all knew the power of Li Xin's "big-character posters", and they would never dare to hide this matter from the emperor.

The military officer who was carrying Li Xin gave Li Chun a hard look, and went straight down the Ningcui Building to find a doctor with Li Xin on his back. The other military officer stayed on the second floor of the Ningcui Building and glanced at the With blood stains, he shook his head as he left: "Young Master, you've gotten into big trouble."

This time, the two of their inner guards will be charged with ineffective protection, but this young master of the Pingnanhou Mansion, as well as the entire Pingnanhou Mansion, will be in serious trouble.

Li Chun was about to cry.

"I really didn't do it..."

Unfortunately, no one will believe him.

Li Chun stood there blankly. After a long time, he moved his feet with difficulty, and said to the two generals at the door, "Let's go... let's go home."

The division of labor between the two inner guards was clear. One of them went to the doctor with Li Xin on his back, and the other hurried back to the imperial city. After some procedures, he finally saw Emperor Chengde who was studying in the study.

The inner guard respectfully knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the lowly ones are not doing enough to protect Mr. Li, please forgive me!"

Emperor Chengde put down the ancient book in his hand, and glanced at the inner guard kneeling at the bottom of the steps.

"What's wrong with Li Xin? Why can't you ask your internal guards to protect a young man?"

The inner guard knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this morning, Mr. Li Xin went out to Datongfang to go shopping in the West Market. People from the Nanhou Mansion brought Mr. Li all the way to the Ningcui Building next to the Qinhuai River..."

Speaking of this, the inner guard gritted his teeth and said: "When the humble officials followed up, they discovered that Mr. Li had already clashed with the people from the Pingnanhou Mansion. When the humble officials rushed into the room, they saw the people from the Pingnanhou Mansion Young Lord, holding a bamboo chair, smashed it on the head of Mr. Li Xin, and at this moment, Mr. Li Xin..."

"I don't know if I live or die..."

Chapter 26 Kneeling

Originally, although Li Xin was the son of Pingnanhou Li Shen, he was not very important in the eyes of the emperor, that is to say, whether this person was dead or alive, the Emperor Chengde didn't care much about it. It was because the Pingnan Hou Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion did evil in the name of the Son of Heaven, and they sent people to protect Li Xin, but they did so casually, simply because they didn't want the son of their old friend Li Shen to die in the capital inexplicably.

However, since Emperor Chengde intervened in this matter, it represented the will of the emperor. Even though he only sent two people to protect Li Xin symbolically, as long as they were sent out, the people in the capital had to give the emperor face. .

Now, the young master of the Pingnanhou Mansion seriously injured Li Xin in front of the inner guards. This behavior was no different from hitting the emperor in the face.

You know, just two days ago, the Emperor Chengde personally sent Dong Cheng, the eunuch of the Tianmu Supervisor, to order the Pingnanhou Mansion. Just two days later, the Pingnanhou Mansion did such a thing!

This is clearly against the emperor!

Emperor Chengde put down the ancient book in his hand, glanced at the inner guard kneeling on the steps, and said indifferently: "Are you sure it's the hand of Li Chun from the Pingnanhou Mansion?"

Emperor Chengde and Marquis of Pingnan Li Shen were good friends, he naturally knew the name of the son of Marquis of Pingnan's mansion, even when Li Chun was born, Emperor Chengde, who was still a prince at that time, held the child with his own hands.
